its a bunch of miserable woke leftards as usual. Why can't they just all cease to exist?

 

[coolcat6778]

why should australia care about some war in the middle east, a place that is prone to wars? besides I don't think they care about the war, all they are doing is virtue signaling with the free playstation movement

cos people die there are they not human like u or what? u got some crazed bunch of people just killing kids for a state they want for some holy bible or some shit like tf like respect religion but dont go killing for it

Why the fuck do many people get brainwashed into thinking that Woolies and Coles engage in monopolistic behaviour?

In the past 5 years:

• Woolworths has sold all of its petrol stations to EG
• Coles has sold all of its petrol stations to Reddy
• Woolworths has sold off BWS
• Woolworths has sold off Dan Murphy’s
• Profit margins of both supermarkets are lower than five years ago

and australia, an insignificant county is going to stop it? The ones I circled are all virtue signaling designed to appease the miserable wokes and blue haired they/thems, since the whole party is also a bunch of non binary cucks. It's pretty Ironic that they show support for both Hamas and LGBTQ+, even having both flags in one protest lmfao, that should tell you everything you need to know about them. Good thing is that these radical people will definitely lose. Can't hand the keys to the country to a bunch of unintelligent human beings.

what part of petrol and alcohol are groceries lmao.

the profit margins have absolutely no bearing on the question of whether they act as a duopoly in effect, nor do they bear on the question of price gouging and anti-consumer practices.

if billy awesome opens a lemonade stand, incorporates Billy Awesome's Local Lemonade Stand Pty Ltd and his stand makes $200, then pays himself $200 as sole director as his yearly salary, BALLS made $0 of profit that year. if you exclude operating expenses, billy buys himself a dripped out $150 tricycle to travel to his lemonade stand as part of his remuneration agreement with BALLS, then BALLS contracts out to his best friend jimmy to get his lemons for $49 when they cost $1, BALLS made $1 of profit.

if BALLS made only $100, and these profits were half of the year prior, but all the other lemonade stands only made $3 that year because people can't afford lemonade anymore, billy essentially runs a monopoly on lemonade stands as sole director despite his profits looking awful to all his shareholders.

when a business increases their prices to the point other alternatives are cheaper, consumers will leave. when there are no feasible alternatives, and particularly when your product is in essence a necessity, consumers cannot leave and there is nothing stopping an increase in prices except the amount of money that the consumer can afford. when you operate at such a large scale for a long time that you can keep prices lower than competition by buying in bulk, competitors die out. when the competitors die out, you are now free to increase prices as you wish.

i don't think it takes much beyond a basic understanding of the operation of corporations and rudimentary economic concepts to reach the conclusion that coles and woolworths have a duopoly for all intents and purposes. it doesn't help that the ACCC is a toothless and chronically underresourced regulator that is effectively useless and probably going to be torn down again within the next few years.

its always somewhat disappointing to see that many people, regardless of their political inclination, and for something that is best attributed to an inability to think critically, a belief that being "edgy" will garner some form of social acceptance or validation, or a lack of education, are unable to think past the divides of the two-party system.

having values that align with certain labor or liberal policies doesn't mean that you align with every one of their propositions. there is nothing to be achieved by vilifying an entire group of a particular political spectrum as nazis, or woke or anything to that effect. people seem to be inclined to vote actively against their own interests because a party has a stance that meets their views on a social, moral or religious issue that they feel particularly strongly about. each side is caught up in the idea that people voting for an opposite party are the enemy, and a vocal minority takes some form of vicarious pleasure in their suffering.

there are some issues classified as 'political' that rather just speak to moral composition in my opinion. i would safely put a significant amount of money on the fact that you as an individual will eventually reach a point where you are miserable, because your capacity to take a very broad group of people and sling profanities at them speaks to a profound lack of emotional intelligence and critical thinking ability, which will inevitably cause difficulties in interpersonal relationships and result in seeking to assign blame for all the negative consequences that arise causatively from your own actions and words. even accounting for the possibility that its just 'ironic' or anything to that effect, i think people like you are the reason society will continue to go downhill, because the majority of people who don't hold such polarised views aren't invested enough or too apathetic to speak.

 

[carrotsss]

fair enough,,, i just don't feel like albo has been hard enough on new fossil fuel plants

it seems like tanya has done nothing but blindly stamp everything good to go

tanya (or rather the government) is currently being taken to the high court for blocking mines?

 

[tvskAXatar]

Why do we need to be “hard” on fossil fuels anyway?

We should however heavily tax foreign exporters of our fossil fuel

 

[spiderfan44]

Fuck the extreme far-right Liberal Party with their backwards and divisive agenda. At the same time, the radical far-left Greens hate Australia Day, our great flag and take offence whenever someone simply wants to celebrate our great country. Both the Coalition and Greens focus too much on Israel and Gaza than local affairs.

I think the centre to centre-left Albanese Govt has done a good job and it will take time for their achievements to be realised. Fuck Peter Dutton. Dump Dutton from Dickson.

objectively our flag sucks ass and we could do way better.

co2 emissions. also extraction causes environmental damage even with remediation (w remediation it still causes habitat loss and environmental fragmentation, the restored land is less ecologically complex and cant support as many environmental services or act as habitat for as many species as it did previously). we have alternatives so the environmental harm of fossil fuel extraction just isnt justifiable imo. does all mining need to stop? no, i think resources such as aluminum, uranium, iron, copper and cobalt are necessary enough that it justifies the environmental harm, just not fossil fuels.
